Kiwifruit: Varieties, Background & Nutrition: Organic Gardening

Kiwifruit has become a staple in the produce sections of grocery stores in North America. Its sweet-acidic flavor, soft pulpy texture and bright-green colored flesh have quickly made the fuzzy brown egg-shaped "Chinese gooseberry" a favorite of exotic fruit-lovers. Its high concentration of vitamin C makes it as healthful as it is delightful. In this excerpt adapted from the CD-ROM, Uncommon Fruits Worthy of Attention, longtime Organic Gardeningcontributor Lee Reich, Ph.D., explains how to grow your own kiwifruit anywhere in North America.
